Street Car Hogs.

Correspondents are beginning to com. lain
of the street car hogs. Now that the wealth
eri is growing chilly cars have to be CLOSED
and the porcine dispositions OF men aud
women have full and disagreeable pla,
There are several species OF the street ca,
hog, just as there are number OF br. eds
and species of the foar-footed animal.
First, there Is the hog that chews tobacco
and spits great nasty puddles on the caI
floor, the stencil from which would sickep
any living thing, the sight OF which is dis-
gushing aud the stains from which threaten
every lady's dress that enters the vehicle
This Is the champion hog.
A second variety is the cross-legged brut,
who sticks his legs across the car or along
the seat and soils the clothes of all who
pass unless they step or stumble over him,
Another Is the lop-sided hog, that spreads
him or herself sideways upon the seat, TAX
ing up room enough for two and never NOV
ing until told to do so, even if tim'd women
stand.
Another is the cigar stump hog, who is
too mean to throw away his ''old soldier''
when he gets on, but let's it go out and slts
with the sinking thing between his fingers
fumigsting the whole car Many persons
would much prefer that cigar be actual,
smoked in the vehicle than endure the odo,
OF that demurallzed and spoiled remnant.
Sill another is the female pig VINO win
spread herself over more loom than is neces-
sary, aud will let some gentleman get up to
give some new comer a seat ia her than
sex.
Another is the tough boor who wants .
WINDOW down and will keep it duwu to tn,
discomfort Of all otuer passengers, who al,
devuutly prayiug III chorus that the no.
may get rheumatism OF pneumonia
Another is the purker who has much t.,
say To the driver ON cold day, aud will
stand with the door wide open while he ID g,
his ch,nunz until the others bawl at him
aud then look knowingly upon HIM the r, 81
OF the way.
The meaneSt aud most despi,abe hog
all is the brute y no leans against ladies' III a
crowded car aud seeks by his dtpravtd on
tact to attract their attention to his i'll b /
ooneoit. Such are mbeciles who would be
objects of pity if their disease was not co
disgusting.
Another is the hog VIII will not put in
his fare until the driver has rung for him a
dozen times and the eyes of everybody are
upon him. Then he squeezes forward, tread
ing upon the feet of all before him, as if
spting them because he could not ''cribm a
fare
These are the various breeds and species OF
hogs that infest street cars, and daily one
meets samples on the various lines.
A mean animal is street car hog, and his
fellow-passengers should be authorized 10
constitute a jury to pass Judgment upon him
and to execute it, too.-

The Marriage of Great Men.

The Marriage of Great Men.
Robert Burns married farm-girl.
with whom he fell in love while they
worked together in pillow field.
Milton married the daughter of
country squire, and lived with her but
short time. He was an austere lit
erary recluse, while she was a rosy,
romping country lass, who could not
endure the restraint imposed upon her,
so they separated.
Subsequently, however, she return
ed, and they lived tolerably happy.
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert
were cousins, rare example in the
long line of English monarchs where
in the marital VOWS were sacredly OBJ
served, and sincere affection existed.
Shakespeare loved and welded a
farmers daughter.
Peter the Great, of Russia, married
peasant.
She made an excellent wife and a
sagacious empress.
Humbolt married a poor girl be-
cause he loved her. Of course they
wee happy.
Washington married woman with
two children. 1t is enough to say she
was worthy of him, and they lived as
married people should live-in perfect
harmony with each other.
JohnAdams married the daughter of
a Presbyterian clergymen. Her faith
er objected on account of John being
lawyer.
John Howard, the great philanthro-
pist, married his nurse.
She was altogether beneath him in
social life and intellectual capacity.
and, besides this, was fifty-two years
old, while he was but twenty-five. He
wouldn't take "No" for an answer, and
they were married and lived happily
until she died, which occurred two
years afterward.

The only trouble with the beet
sugar industry is the great cost of
producing the beet compared with
the amount of sugar there is in it.
French gardeners advocate the
practice of gridling grape vines to

idly as possible from now on by the
most liberal feeding consistent with
the health of the animals.
Prohibitionists are against high
license, first, because it does not ma
terially lessen the evils of intemper-
ance, and, secondly, because who
ever shares in the profits Of the
liquor traffic becomes a partner in
that crime, which is "the gigantic
crime Of crimes

Coal is very high.
Father thinks it isn't right
You should come here every night,
Staying till the fire is low,
Just to spoon and sigh.
Calling me your "little SWEET
Does not pay for gas;
While your lonely heart may yearn,
In the chandeliers there burn
Jets that make thousand feet
Der the me er pass.
Love, know completely fills
Life's void gallery;
Yet,while these dear moments haste,
Think how many dollars waste
Coal and gas and other bills

WHATEVER the Junior Order Of United
American Mechanics may be-and we con-
fess that in this day of thousand and one
| confraternities, We have no definite idea
of what the Junior" order named is, or
whence it sprang-it is moving in the
right direction when it casts its influence
against pauper immigration and in favor
of greater vigor and some amendment OF
the naturalization laws. Its proposition
that tax be laid upon immigrants is not
strong. If the entry of certain class is
objectionable, it will not remove the reason
for its exclusion by accepting per capita
levy. The latter plan is to peremptorily
shut out those we do not want and admit
freely those we deem unobjectionable. at
taching such restrictions to naturalization
of those admitted as we welcome. If it is
feared that even those unobjectiolable
may become too numerous, it will be wiser
to Limit the number who NAV enter
within 4 given period than to make the
privilege to land mercenary, by bargains
for coin. If we are to exclude to any
greater extent than under present laws
and regulations-and that we should is
no longer debatable quesson-let us do
so directly and not merely put up bars that
dollars may overleap.

i the duty OF all druggists to recommend
it to the poor, dying consumptive, at least

fornia good service by his response to
Eastern critics and doubters. Say these to
this California ship-builder: How can
you at such distance from the great
manufacturing centers, and buying steel
plates on the Atlantic side and transport
ing them across the continent, besides pay
ing higher wages than is paid at the East
how can you bid against the ship-build-
erS of the Atlantic ~ Mr.. Scots reply is
simple and it is climatic: 'fWhen YOU have
excessive heat on the Atlantic side. work
in your yards and shops ceases and there is
a dead loss that aggregates fearfulIy high.
When it is hot weather with YOU. vour
men cannot do full work, and that is add
iional loss When it IS excessively cold
and the snow falls heavily, work in the
yards is suspended at the East. But on
the California side we have neither exces-
sive heat nor cold, and there Is not the loss
of an hour or minute in California by
reason Of climatic conditions" Mr.. seott's

great investment of capital, viii 60 long
